Line 47: ==Computer Associates v. Altai== {{main\|Computer Associates Int. Inc. v. Altai Inc.}} In ''[[Computer Associates Int. Inc. v. Altai Inc.]]'' in 1992 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the conclusion in ''Whelan'' that the structure, sequence and organization of a program might bybe protected by copyright where appropriate.{{sfn\|Takeyama\|Gordon\|Towse\|2005\|p=11}} However, the court went on to say, "As we have already noted, a computer program's ultimate function or purpose is the composite result of interacting subroutines. Since each Subroutine is itself a program, and thus, may be said to have its own 'idea,' Whelan's general formulation that a program's overall Purpose equates with the program's idea is descriptively inadequate."{{sfn\|Hamilton\|Sabety\|1997\|p=250}}
